    Brakes binding..

    Going to space the mc as a first cheap attempt. Makes sense...can only be binding on when the fluid can't return fully? If that works, might trim the length of the plunger to suit. Thanks !!

    Brakes binding..

    It's one of these...doesn't tell you much I guess!. I've had her 23 years and this was replaced I guess about 5 Don't think so, just joined today? It's always been there!! Infact, think I replaced it few years ago. Its just a ball valve that detects the pressure drop in one of the circuits and...

    Brakes binding..

    All of them to my knowledge...but all of them spin freely with no rubbing at all when "cold" as I said in the post? I have slackened them off to beyond the usual 2 clicks..

    Brakes binding..

Replaced the drums, cylinders, shoes, pull off springs (correctly fitted)...slackened off the adjusters more than the "2 clicks" and all wheels spin freely. The master cylinder has a servo and was replaced a few...

    Series 3 brake issues

    Hi, There's a test switch/light on a panel in the centre of the dash which checks the servo. The instrument warning lights all extinguish on engine start up. Pretty sure the two way valve brake switch isn't actually connected to anything!

    Series 3 brake issues

    Hi, would be interested in some opinions based on other's experiences! Always had great brakes on my S3, even with the 10" drums. I had replaced the servo, master cylinder, pipes, shoes, drums, cylinders and the twin circuit valve a few years back. But I have a problem. At first the brakes...

    Hi, Must admit, thought I had an account! The brakes were stripped so many times I lost count!! Cylinders replaced and new shoes (rubbish these days, but cheap!) and new pull off springs..(easy to get these fitted wrong)... Any way I can check the actuation of the master cylinder push rod?
